Ty’s definitely an NBA player. I think he can be a solid bench guard somewhere.
All right, we were talking about the Zubac trade, which…

What’s your best Lakers salt? I want that locally-sourced, artisinal salt.

The Zu trade was a pure boneheaded move. I feel they did it just because the Lakers’ FO felt pressured to do SOMETHING after the AD talks went nowhere

Seth Kimbrell
I don’t have the link on me, but the reddit thread reacting to Bev calling the Clips the best team in LA at the start of the year is pure gold

Matt Chong
The Zubac salt brings me the most joy, especially when it’s directed towards their own front office.

Cannon Wonderlich
Lakers fans always celebrate when they get a name, then turn against them when it doesn’t work. It happened with Magic, it’s happening with LeBron

Garrett Chorpenning
My favorite picture that sums up the Lakers season is the ClutchPoints one where it said the Lakers had “reclaimed the title of the kings of Los Angeles” because they moved ahead of us by one game in the standings in, like, December

Logan Rapp
And that photo really had that sense of “the nobility returns to their throne” arrogance. It was beautiful to watch how fast that collapsed.

Seth Kimbrell
But don’t worry, when they get Durant and Kawhi and Anthony Davis this offseason, it’ll all be different.  (Rolling eyes emoji)

Garrett Chorpenning
And DeMarcus Cousins. And Klay Thompson. And Kemba Walker. They’re getting all of them Seth, remember?

Matt Chong
I literally just saw a post from two days ago with Kawhi photoshopped into a Lakers jersey, which read, “Only 100 days until Kawhi dons the purple and gold.”

Seth Kimbrell
I hear Doncic might be available too!

Logan Rapp
It’s going to be really weird when the Warriors just move to LA and everyone takes a $5 million/3 year contract.

Garrett Chorpenning
“People just want to play for the Lakers because they know they’re the best and they want that winning culture”

Cannon Wonderlich  
That’s the only reason I could imagine a FA would choose them over us
